As soon as Meikou's women's clothing video was released, it was immediately well received by the outside world, and the number of views on the video increased rapidly.
In the EDG base, Meikou watched the video of herself wearing women's clothing...
What a shame!
"Oh my god! How will I behave from now on?"
Everyone in EDG couldn't help but laugh, and Ye Zi said: "Just get used to it."
"By the way, Manager Abu asked me to ask you if you can also shoot a video of women's clothing for the official blog."
"Let him crawl for me!" Meikou said fiercely.
At this time, Abu and Nofe pushed open the door and walked in. Abu asked curiously: "What were you talking about just now? Who are you asking to crawl?"
Several EDG players turned their attention to Meikou, who smiled coquettishly: "We are joking."
"Don't mess around. If you mess around, you'll get impatient."
Abu reminded him seriously, and several EDG players couldn't bear it any longer and burst into laughter.
"It's inexplicable." Abu and Nofe looked at each other, confused as to what these guys were doing.
After the players stopped laughing, Abramovich got down to business: "There are no strong opponents among our recent opponents, and we have already confirmed our qualification, so we can play more casually.
Winning or losing is not that important. The main thing is to practice the lineup. Everyone should also look for their own problems and find out the deficiencies.
I don’t need to say more about how important this year is. As long as you get good results, I can guarantee that you will achieve financial freedom in an instant.”
After a pause, Abu said mysteriously: "Boss Ed Zhu has been paying attention to the club and has prepared many rewards. Don't miss this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, everyone present's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although EDG has never bought a player at a particularly high price, there has never been any financial problems.
Most of the time, EDG is a person who has money but cannot buy what he wants to buy.
The most important thing is that it is said that the boss of EDG is a pig, and the reason why the EDG club was formed was to help the factory director realize his dream.
A glimpse of the leopard shows that the rewards from the EDG boss will not be too stingy.
Why do professional players play professionally?
One is dreams, and the other is money. Now there is an opportunity to achieve financial freedom. Even if they know that Abu may be trying to make a bigger pie, everyone is still willing to eat this pie.
Of course, except Yezi and the factory director.
The factory director owns shares in EDG, and Yezi earns more from live streaming than from his professional career...
Seeing that the enthusiasm of the team members was mobilized, Abu said with satisfaction: "Tomorrow you will definitely thank yourself for your hard work today."
…
Time has passed and the summer split is coming to an end.
During this period, EDG played a few more games, against some mid-to-lower-tier teams: VG, JDG, SNG...
Not surprisingly, EDG won easily.
At this time, EDG's ranking is completely locked in the first place, and it has been confirmed that it will occupy at least one S competition seat.
There are three seats in the S competition, divided into No. 1 seed, No. 2 seed and No. 3 seed.
The winner of the Summer Split will directly participate in the S Tournament as the No. 1 seed, and the remaining two places will be determined based on their points.
It is worth mentioning that the third seed needs to play the bubble game to enter the group stage, while the first and second seeds can enter the group stage directly without playing the bubble game.
Therefore, even though EDG has already confirmed its spot in the S competition, it still has to secure second place and compete for first place.
After all, they don't want to play another round of bubbling matches.
In the EDG base, Abramovich said: "The teams that have the best chance of entering the World Championship are RNG, WE, IG and us. There are four teams in total."
"This..." mouse: "But there are only three places for the World Championship."
Abramovich: "So, one of these four teams will be eliminated, and we can basically confirm a seat in the S competition..."
Everyone took a breath after hearing this.
The competition for places in this year's World Championship is too fierce. In fact, it is mainly caused by the sudden rise of WE and IG.
WE and IG are ancient giants, but their results have been tepid since they fell out of favor. I don’t know what happened this year, but WE has shown extraordinary strength since the spring split.
After IG introduced Duke, Theshy and Ning Wang, their performance improved rapidly.
Now, one of the three teams, RNG, WE, and IG, must be eliminated.
In terms of strength, RNG is higher than IG and WE, but the gap is not big. In a real fight, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
Of course, of all the people present, only Yezi knew that the final qualifying spots were EDG, RNG and WE.
However, he was not so sure.
After all, he didn't know whether his time-traveling butterfly would cause the butterfly effect.
Abramovich continued: "Although we are guaranteed to qualify, it is best if we can win the summer championship. If we cannot win the summer championship, we must at least get the second seed.
So, don’t take it lightly.”
Nofe: "We won't have a game in a few days. Let's take a look at the games of WE, RNG and IG in the past few days. These three teams pose the greatest threat to us."
Everyone nodded.
Know yourself and the enemy, and win every battle. In the playoffs, everyone will definitely play with all their strength.
Therefore, no matter which team EDG encounters, the more they know about the opponent, the better their chances of winning.
…
In the next few days, in addition to training, everyone in EDG has been watching the games of several teams.
As they predicted, WE, RNG and IG all easily defeated their playoff opponents.
Seeing that the EDG game is getting closer and closer, the atmosphere becomes inexplicably serious.
Abramovich: "Today is the game between IG and Omg. We will face the winner of the two teams."
omg?
Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that OMG had also been working hard in S7 for a while.
However, omg's overall strength is still a bit inferior, and it is extremely difficult to defeat IG.
For EDG, they naturally hope that OMG will defeat IG in an upset. After all, the pressures of playing IG and OMG are completely different.
But they also know that ig will win the game with a high probability, so they can only hope that even if omg cannot win, they will at least play something out of IG.
In this case, EDG will be more confident when playing IG.
Abramovich: "IG's midfield and top junglers feel stronger. OMG only has the advantage in the bottom lane. Unless icon explodes, it will be difficult for OMG to win the game."
Factory Director: "It's too difficult. It's good to have a blast. If you want to win the Bo5..."
Meikou also said: "Opposite Icon is Rookie. This person's performance is too stable. Even if Icon explodes, the two of them will only be 50-50 apart. It's unrealistic to beat Rookie."
Rookie has been the dean of IG for so many years, and his strength has long been recognized by everyone.
Moreover, the current version is quite suitable for Rookie, and both balls and one can be used.
Nofe: "It depends on whether Omg has prepared any special tactics."
In professional competitions, when the opponent's physical strength is inferior, there is only one way to win - to be surprised.
It's like the Rabbids playing against SKT. They choose heroes that the opponent doesn't expect and just go ahead and do it.
In this case, it is possible to beat the master to death with random punches. If you play steadily with a strong team and wait to delay the later stage... I'm sorry, the strong team is better at operation and development than you. It is very difficult to last until the later stage to exert force.
"here we go!"
While chatting, a light flashed on the screen, and the game between omg and IG had begun.
First, BP and IG banned Big Mouth, Enchantress, Rock Bird, Shen and Kassadin respectively.
omg is to ban: Rambo, Prince, Syndra, Spider, Snake.
"A total of one AD was banned from both sides?" Abu was a little surprised: "IG targeted the big mouth of the old Sima thief, and both Kalista and Xia were released."
Ye Zi couldn't help but said: "These people are so disgusting and they deliberately target me."
Everyone smiled.
Indeed, every team that plays against EDG will basically ban Kalista and Xayah. Some teams even ban AD five times in order to limit Yezi.
In fact, this is understandable, as different teams have different tactical choices.
Everyone knows that EDG's bottom lane is the core, so they will naturally cause trouble in the bottom lane.
Soon, the heroes of both sides were selected.
Abu looked at Ye Zi: "Ye Zi, who are you optimistic about in the first round?"
Yezi thought for a moment and said: "IG, the hero Kalista is too buggy. Although IG's bottom lane strength is average, it is impossible for the old thief to gain an advantage against Kalista with small cannons.
If OMG can't have an advantage in the bottom lane, it's basically impossible to win the game."
Regarding the old thief Sima, Yezi evaluated him as a hard-working player, but in fact, the league has always been a game that relies on talent.
Although hard work is useful, it has an upper limit. Even if the old thief Sima reaches the limit of his talent, he will not be able to reach the level of Uzi and bang.
Moreover, IG also restricted Sima Laothief's hero pool.
Big Mouth and Jhin are Sima Laothief's signature heroes, with the highest proficiency. Although other heroes can appear, their proficiency is average.
Now that Big Mouth has been banned, it is difficult for Jhin to play if he does not meet the version, and it is extremely difficult for Xia to get started...
Therefore, even if the old thief Sima who is forced to choose a small cannon is stronger than IG's bottom lane, it will be extremely difficult for him to gain an advantage.
Just as Yezi expected, after entering the game, omg's bottom lane could only be forced to grow.
At this time, the gap between the top, middle and jungle is reflected.
The player Theshy is playing against is called Frozen Sunset, a decent blue-collar top laner.
Although Theshy was also a blue-collar player in this game, he took the initiative in the lane.
Without any casualties, IG used its hard power to overwhelm OMG's economy by more than a thousand dollars.
Seeing this, Abu sighed: "The gap is too big, omg this game is going to be lost."
"Yi Zi, your prediction is quite accurate."
Yezi shook his head. It wasn't that his prediction was accurate, but that the two teams were too outrageous. Almost all the version heroes were released.
If omg didn't let Kalista go, he could still struggle. If he let Kalista go, it would be equivalent to cutting off his only advantageous path. How could he possibly win?
As expected, omg was pushed off the base by IG in the early 30 minutes and lost the first game.
Second game.
Omg seemed to have discovered the problem and decisively banned Kalista, while IG kept its BP unchanged in the first game.
"Huh?" Ye Zi was startled: "OMG has a chance in the second game."
"How to say?"
"OMG banned Kalista, but IG neither banned Xia Luo nor took Xia Luo. Is IG betting that OMG would not dare to take Phoenix Legend in the bottom lane?"
"But there is one thing to say, even if the proficiency of the old thief and Xiao Wuxialuo is not very high, it will be no problem to use them to play lane. Is IG overconfident in their bottom lane?"
After reading IG's BP, Yezi only felt that IG's current coach was a bit outrageous.
IG's shortcoming is the bottom lane, but omg's bottom lane is the advantageous lane. In this case, they do not use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, but instead give the opponent a strong bottom lane combination...
Anyone who has no brain water would not be able to do such a ridiculous thing.
Or, the IG coach is just stupid.
Or, the IG coach just bought it, there is no third possibility.
Of course, Yezi prefers the first option. After all, IG’s management is notoriously bad. Even its own fans criticize it, which shows how many tricks there are.
Soon, the lineup for the second game was determined. Seeing the lineups of both sides, Yates could only be described as speechless.
IG gave Rookie Lucian in the middle, Lulu Cannon in the bottom lane, and Tool Man in the upper lane.
On the other hand, omg, the middle and lower players took Airplane and Xialuo respectively.
In this comparison, omg's BP directly beats Ma.
"The level of IG's coach is average." Ye Zi said: "It's impossible to match Xihuang with Lulu, and it's very likely that he will be defeated in the lane against Xialuo.
Lucian in the middle has suppressive power but doesn't have the late game. If the icon plane is more stable and the dual shooters are formed, IG's lineup will be exhausted and can't beat omg."
The second game lasted for nearly forty minutes. OMG won the game and tied the score one to one.
Several EDG players were a little surprised: "Zi Zi, you are simply a prophet."
Yates: "There's no way, Coach IG's BP is so inappropriate. I feel like I'm better than him even in the game."
Everyone smiled, admiring Yezi's understanding of the game.
Because many of EDG's tactics have the shadow of Yates, he can always detect the OP heroes and some practical tricks in the version first.
In this regard, they can only attribute this to talent...
On the screen, the game is still going on.
In the third and fourth games, the IG coach finally realized that Phoenix Legend could not be placed in the bottom lane of omg.
In every BP, in addition to banning Big Mouth, IG also banned Luo.
In other words, omg can only get Xayah at most in the bottom lane, and if you only get Xayah, it will be more demanding on the player's proficiency with Xayah.
Omg, I forced Xia to the old thief, and as expected, I lost miserably.
In the fourth game, omg took out the trump card, using rats and gems in the bottom lane, rock birds in the middle lane, and jungle trolls.
As a result, icon rock bird's proficiency was obviously average, and Rookie took out the snake girl and taught him crazily.
In the end, the two teams scored 3:1, and IG successfully won the game.
On the screen, after omg lost the game, the old thief stood up from his seat and left the field alone, his back looking lonely and sad.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zi sighed silently.
At this time, the old thief has already had a conflict with coach omg, and will choose to transfer to rw and doinb as teammates next season, but the result...
Yezi knew that the old thief could no longer prove himself.
This is the cruelest thing about e-sports. Without talent, no matter how hard you try, you can't reach the height you want to reach.
The factory director felt a little uncomfortable: "It's a pity, old thief. I had a chance to enter the World Championship this year, but I still fell short."
No one was surprised. The factory director and the old thief had always been good friends and often had dinner dates together. It would naturally be uncomfortable to see the old thief eliminated.
On the sidelines, after watching the game, Abu has collected the information he wanted.
"I think I've discovered IG's weakness."
After saying that, Abu stood up from his seat and loudly said: "Everyone, get ready to face IG!"
